Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' captain Anson Mount has been trying to get Bruce Campbell cast on the show for years

Anson Mount is a man with a mission, and that mission is to get Bruce Campbell onboard the USS Enterprise. Mount has spent years trying to convince Star Trek: Strange New Worlds producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers to find a role for Campbell, but so far he’s had no luck.

When asked what series he wanted Strange New Worlds to crossover with, even Mount’s answer came back to Campbell.

“I’m going to say The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., because anything to get Bruce Campbell on our show. I’ve been trying," Mount says during the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds panel this weekend at Emerald City Comic Con 2025. "I’ve been pitching Akiva and Henry ideas for Bruce Campbell to come on our show for a while now, and I’m determined it’s going to happen.”

If Mount is half as persistent as his character Captain Pike, then sooner or later he’ll make this happen. Hmmm…what kind of role would you like to see Bruce Campbell play on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?
